It's Titans Time as Tom Taylor tweets "The Justice League have disbanded. It is time for a new premier superhero team in @DCComics. Excited to announce I'm teaming up with my friend, and one of the greatest artists on the planet, @NicolaScottArt, on TITANS!" Susan Eisenberg replies "Tom! Massive congratulations to you & Nicola!! (But what's this about the Justice League disbanding?!)" Tom replies "Thanks, Susan! They're just taking some time. Wonder Woman has some big things coming up. Don't worry."And Tom Taylor also states "Absolutely! It follows on from what we've been building in Nightwing, and from the events of Dark Crisis, but it's definitely its own thing."

The Teen Titans first appeared from DC Comics in 1964 in The Brave and the Bold #54 with Kid Flash, Robin and Aqualad with Wonder Girl joining later. It was revived in the eighties as The New Teen Titans by Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez. The existence of the Teen Titans was erased by DC's New 52 in 2011 but it has found ways ro return ever since, with the latest incarnation appearing in Nightwing #100. And with a 60th anniversary to come next year…
